2:00 am
so while the israelis appear to be very happy with the president's visit, the palestinians are certainly feeling today like they got very little if anything out of this trip. >> alex, how much attention did that rocket attack from gaza draw yesterday in the israeli media? beyond that what's next for u.s. relations with israel? >> it got huge headlines yesterday, obviously, because the president was here. this is something that the israelis are pretty used to seeing. and for the israelis who are rather pessimistic about peace, it really underscored the point that they don't feel that peace is achievable. but by and large the review of the president's trip are glowing in the israeli press. this is a man who many israelis were suspicious of, not sure of his support for israel. in the next few days, you will see israelis saying they put their fears to rest with his actions and words over the past three days. >> alex, so much to get to on the president's visit. hard to imagine he will be able to get to all of the issues,
2:01 am
what is left on the table as the president leaves israel? >> well there was no real banner accomplishment here, diplomatic accomplishment i should say. so the work really continues on the major issues that they discussed. a highly symbolic trip. i think the president's goal of highlighting the u.s.-israel relationship was accomplished and quite well. but the main issue they discussed, syria, iran, the peace process, work on those very much continues. so we expect to see secretary of state john kerry here more often than his predecessor in the coming weeks and months trying to jump-start peace talks. israel will continue to ask the u.s. to exert heavy pressure on iran to prevent them from getting a nuclear weapon. and as we watched syria descend further into the chaos in their two-year civil war, i can imagine israel and the u.s. will keep talking a lot about how to contain the fallout from that war. so there is still quite a bit left on the table. >> abc's alex marquardt live

3:28 am
to both israelis and palestinians who are pleading for peace. after a ceremony filled visit to the mideast, will the president leave israel today with any major accomplishments? it's friday, march 22nd. >> announcer: from abc news, this is "world news now" with john muller and diana perez. >> get one up top. >> happy friday. yes. >> we are happy about that. let's get to it. good morning, everybody. president turning his attention to the arab ally today. the latest in a live report from jerusalem. that is shortly. another major story that we are following, the police pursuit and high-stakes shootout that may have ended the manhunt for the gunman wanted in the killing of a colorado prison chief. there are startling new reports about the possible suspect out this morning. also ahead, he looked like an airline pilot and boarded an airplane flight. police say he was a fake. the big trouble this guy is facing.

3:30 am
public offer any new steps to bringing palestinians closer to statehood. so while the israelis appear to be very happy with the president's visit, the palestinians are certainly feeling today like they got very little if anything out of this trip. >> alex, how much attention did that rocket attack from gaza draw yesterday in the israeli media? beyond that what's next for u.s. relations with israel? >> it got huge headlines yesterday, obviously, because the president was here. this is something that the israelis are pretty used to seeing. and for the israelis who are rather pessimistic about peace, it really underscored the point that they don't feel that peace is achievable. but by and large the review of the president's trip are glowing in the israeli press. this is a man who many israelis were suspicious of, not sure of his support for israel. in the next few days, you will see israelis saying they put their fears to rest with his actions and words over the past three days. >> alex, so much to get to on
3:31 am
the president's visit. hard to imagine he will be able to get to all of the issues, what is left on the table as the president leaves israel? >> well there was no real banner accomplishment here, diplomatic accomplishment i should say. so the work really continues on the major issues that they discussed. a highly symbolic trip. i think the president's goal of highlighting the u.s.-israel relationship was accomplished and quite well. but the main issue they discussed, syria, iran, the peace process, work on those very much continues. so we expect to see secretary of state john kerry here more often than his predecessor in the coming weeks and months trying to jump-start peace talks. israel will continue to ask the u.s. to exert heavy pressure on iran to prevent them from getting a nuclear weapon. and as we watched syria descend further into the chaos in their two-year civil war, i can imagine israel and the u.s. will keep talking a lot about how to contain the fallout from that war. so there is still quite a bit left on the table. >> abc's alex marquardt live from jerusalem.
